HAMILTON ONTARIO AIRPORT

(John C Munro International)
a great alternate airport!

For those people who are visiting Southern Ontario, Hamilton Ontario Airport is a great place to schedule your arrival and departure if you wish to avoid the overcrowding at any of the three terminals at Toronto Airport.

Hamilton Airport

Hamilton is just 80 kilometers from Toronto and 43 km from Niagara Falls, and is only an hours drive from London Ontario.

Hamilton Ontario Airport is located to the west of the city of Hamilton on highway 6 and has easy accessibility to the surrounding cities and to Highways 403 and 401.

I have found that the cost of flying to Hamilton Airport is usually less expensive than Toronto's Pearson International Airport, I believe that is because of the high taxes levied on flights arriving and departing from Toronto.

I do know that the lower cost and the convenience of a less congested airport, makes Hamilton an attractive choice for many travellers.

Last summer (2007) my 81 year old mother came to visit us and flew from Manchester Airport, UK, into Hamilton International Airport.
Within minutes of landing Mum appeared at the "Arrivals" area, in a wheel-chair being helped by one of the lovely ladies who's job it is to assist passengers.

Not only did the assistant help us out to our car, but she returned the wheelchair to the aiport building for us. That really is great service and was greatly appreciated!

You may not have considered Hamilton Airport as a viable option for your holiday travel, but it might be worth checking it out!
